More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Larry Ellison's life and career are described in this book from the "Internet Biographies" series. Chapter one, "High Drama on the High Seas," describes Ellison's participation in a yacht race when a storm struck and people were killed during the race. Ellison's boat was the first one to finish the race, and Peters uses this incident to emphasize Ellison's strong will. Chapter two, "Humble Beginnings," describes Ellison's childhood and early career. Chapter three, "The Creation of Oracle," explains how the Oracle software was created and what Oracle does. Chapter four, "The Internet Changes Everything," describes Oracle's impact on the Internet. Chapter five, "A Global Software Powerhouse," explains how successful Oracle has been from a business standpoint. Chapter six, "Epilogue," re-emphasizes that Oracle's success is largely due to Ellison's drive. Color photographs and a timeline add to the wealth of information contained in this biography. 2003, Enslow, Ages 8 up.
— Amie Rose Rotruck
School Library Journal
Gr 5-8-Morales introduces an influential woman who was involved with the development of the Internet and establishing domain names, issues of intellectual freedom, Internet governance, and more. Ellison was a cofounder of the Oracle Corporation. These individuals continue to play important roles in their respective areas of expertise. Although the texts are somewhat oversimplified in places, and short, choppy sentences interrupt the narrative flow, the books provide fascinating material about these powerful people, including their determination and business acumen. Captioned, color photos and fact boxes appear throughout. Useful titles for reports.-Susan Shaver, Hemingford Public Schools, NE Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
